Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. May 7, 1912.

Application filed September 12, 1910. Serial No. 581,627.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY Rose, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Albion WVorks, Gainsborough, in the county of Lincoln, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Packaging-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a machine which will make up packets of tobacco, tea, or other granular, divided, or powdered, material in a very rapid, neat, and generally efficient manner.

The machine is of the kind wherein formers are used by which the wrappers are pressed into a circular series of carriers, or molds, and partially folded, and into which formers the material to be wrapped is introduced, the said formers being afterward withdrawn, leaving the material in the wrappers in the molds, the folding of which wrappers is afterward completed.

I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a machine constructed in accordance with this invention, it being understood that I do not restrict myself to the precise details therein shown, or hereinafter described.

Figures 1 and 2 are opposite side elevations of the machine, looking in the direction of the arrows A and B, respectively, of Fig. 5; Figs. 3 and 4 are opposite end elevations thereof (the adhesive-applying device being removed in Fig. 3 and the driving pulley being removed in Fig. 4, for clearness) looking in the direction of the arrows C and D respectively of Fig. 5, and F'g. 5 is a plan. Fig. 6 is a plan of the wrapper with the requisite parts indicated where adhesive is applied; and. Figs. 7 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are perspective views showing the progressive stages of the folding of the wrapperf Figs. 14 and 15 are respectively a side elevation and a plan of the device for applying adhesive to the wrapper; Figs. 16 and 17 are views at right angles to each other showing the adhesive applying rollers, and Fig. 18 is a similar view to Fig.. 16 but showing the rollers in a different position. Figs. 19 and 20 show in elevation and plan respectively, means for lowering the former into its mold and Figs. 21 and 22 show, in elevation and plan respectively, means for raising the said former out of its mold; Figs. 23 and 24 show, in elevation and plan respectively, means whereby the wrapper is securely held While the former is carrying the said wrapper into the mold. Figs. 25 and 26 show in elevation and plan respectively, folders for folding over one of the edges of the wrapper at each side and folders for folding up the bottom folds overthe last named folded edges. Figs. 27, 28, and 29 show in elevation, transverse section and plan respectively, pressers, and means for actuatin them, for acting on the folded sides of the wrapper, to keep the said sides in shape, and to retain the cemented parts of the said sides closed until the cement is sufliciently dry. Figs. 30 and 31 show in elevations at right angles to each other the folders for folding over the upper two side folds of the Wrapper. Fig. 32 is a similar view to Fig. 31, but showing parts in a different position to that shown in Fig. 31. Figs. 33 and 34 show in elevation and plan respectively, the folder for folding the rear top fold of the wrapper, and Figs. 35 and 36 show in elevations at right angles to each other and in Fig. 37 in plan means for ejecting the packages from the mold wheel and means 'for passing the said ejected packages into a suitable receptacle for the adhesive to dry.

The construction and operation of the machine is as follows The wrappers 1. are fed along a trough 2 by means of a pair of endless traveling chains 3 having projections4 thereon to an adhesive-applying device, which device applies adhesive at the requisite places of the WIQPPQILiIIdlCfltQ-(l at 5, 6 and 7 in Fig. 6 of the accompanying drawings. The means for applying the adhesive to these places may (as shown in Figs. 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the accompanying drawings) comprise rollers 8 and 9, the former having two sets of projections 10 and 11 longitudinally arranged on its periphery, and the latter having two sets of projections, 12 and 13, like, wise arranged on its periphery. The sets of projections, 12 and 13, on the roller 9, are adapted to take adhesive from a roller 14, rotating in trough 15 containing adhesive, and transfer it to the sets of projections, 10 and 11, on the roller 8, which latter project-ions then apply the adhesive to the parts 5 and 6, of the upper side of the wrap-
